Haha, I don't mind. Erm... we're pretty similiar school-wise in that we're good in the same subjects usually, and we're both doing maths at uni, etc. Plus we mostly have the same interests, but I'd say, personality-wise, we're different.
I have two friends who I'm very competitive with. I'd never say it to them, but I'd get seriously pissed off if they did better than me because I know secretly they'd be thinking they were superior and it would do my nut in. They're going to Oxford so they're obviously bright but I don't like being reminded of it lol.
Well I used to, say at GCSE level and below, but now I know where all my friends are aiming I just want everybody to get the grades they themselves want and they need for uni...coz we all know by now which of our friends will get top grades and which find it more of a struggle...I think what will be worse than just beating each other in grades would be if say one person missed their uni offer and everyone else got in... xxx
Yeah, I compete with my best mate, we're both A students but he's a million times smarter than me. Its fantastic though, he's a mathematician and I'm a physicist and this "competition" has got both of us reading university level text books and journals, really good for me.
